Eco-Friendly Dog Products

Through Sustainable Choices for a Greener Canine Lifestyle

Today I want to discuss eco-friendly and going green. For the past 12 years we have been living on a sailboat in the Caribbean.  We try to leave as small of a carbon footprint as possible.

So it only makes sense that our pups, Jack and Billy do the same. We’ve done some research and some of these items were new to us. A couple we’ve been using for years.

 Going Green with Your Furry Friend

Our canine companions bring us joy, love, and companionship. But did you know that we can also make choices to help them lead a greener lifestyle? From biodegradable poop bags to organic dog food, there are numerous eco-friendly options available that not only benefit our pets but also contribute to a healthier planet. In this blog post, we will explore the world of eco-friendly dog products and how they can help us create a sustainable future for our four-legged friends.

1. Biodegradable Poop Bags: Cleaning Up Responsibly

When it comes to keeping our neighborhoods clean, picking up after our dogs is crucial. But traditional plastic bags can take hundreds of years to decompose, causing harm to the environment. That’s where biodegradable poop bags come in. Made from plant-based materials, these bags break down naturally, reducing waste and minimizing the impact on our planet. Making eco-friendly a bit easier. By choosing biodegradable poop bags, you can clean up after your furry friend while taking a step towards a more sustainable future.

Working in Yellowstone National Park the last couple of years has really focused our attention to keeping our environment safe. We started using these bags about two years ago and really like the idea of being biodegradable.

2. Organic Dog Food: Nourishing your Pooch with Nature’s Goodness

Just like us, dogs deserve nutritious and wholesome meals. Organic dog food is gaining popularity as a healthier and eco-friendly alternative to conventional options. Made from high-quality ingredients that are free from pesticides and artificial additives, organic dog food provides essential nutrients while reducing the use of harmful chemicals in the environment.

Why Eco-friendly dog products?

By opting for organic dog food, you can nourish your pooch while minimizing the ecological footprint of their diet. To be honest we have just started down this path of Organic dog food in our home. It follows the path we take of buying organic fruits and veggies for us when possible.

What do we use?

A freeze dried brand with no fillers that we mix with our home made dog food.  If you have been following me you know that I do not like sticking to one brand of dog food.  Rather I rotate brands to get a balance of  nutrients.

3. Eco-Friendly Toys: Playtime that’s Kind to the Planet

Playtime is an essential part of a dog’s life, and choosing eco-friendly products that are toys too can make it even more enjoyable. Many conventional dog toys are made from non-biodegradable materials that contribute to landfill waste. However, there are now eco-friendly options available, such as toys made from recycled materials or sustainable fabrics. These toys are not only safe for your furry friend but also reduce the strain on our environment, giving you peace of mind while your dog plays.

One toy we found at Amazon was a wool ball.

The best thing about wool balls though is that they are soft and we can play fetch on the boat. A great way to wear off some of that puppy energy.
